Thank you for your query.
Your description points an abscess/ an infected hair follicle .
I would examine the site to look for signs of infection, redness in the surrounding areas (skin,
subcutaneous tissue), warmth over the area, tenderness, any possible bite/sting marks, hair follicle in the centre.
I would do a
complete blood count to check for levels of white blood cells in comparison with others.
A
folliculitis will be about 2-5mm in size. An abscess, in most cases is larger (1-5 cms). If there is adjacent skin involvement (redness, pain, warmth, fever)
cellulitis could be present (unlikely based on your description).
I would advice to keep area, clear & dry. Since it has been two weeks and seems to have pus (white center), I suggest a
topical antibiotic cream twice a day for 1 weel or till it resolves.
Do not pop it or squeeze it. If the antibiotic cream does show inprovement in 3 days, or is signs of cellulitis develop, I suggest you show it to a physician.
hope this helps. please get back to us for further clarification.
hope this resolves quickly.
Wish you good health
